Day 268: Yarn bomb

Our neighborhood walks always yield delights and today we had two surprises!  As we crossed Risley St. bridge, a great blue heron rose from the creek bed and flew north along its course.  There's water in the creek again, thank goodness, so perhaps the heron found a few of the fingerlings we have seen under the bridge.  We may have scared it as we strode down the hill, but it may also have been frightened by the bushy tiger cat that prowled along the east bank.

Fredonia has been yarn bombed! It's a type of street art or graffiti that is created by "guerrilla knitters."  Typically, they knit cozies for all kinds of urban items from street lights to cars.   A tree in the bird sanctuary along Forest Place was the target for the colorful stocking.  The fall foliage is a bit disappointing thus far this autumn,  but now this brilliant display lights up the park.

We're down to double digits!  Only 99 days remaining in the year.  Should I continue the blog into 2013?  Perhaps.  I have gotten very positive feedback and I do enjoy commenting on local events and our travels.  It's certainly something to think about as the year draws to a close.
